Blackbeard’s Retreat was clean, however could use an update. Awesome location, could benefit from an outdoor hose or shower, we needed to rinse off with the neighbor’s hose. It suited our needs for a couple days.

Good for a Long Weekend

Overall, it’s a great location, literally across the street from the beach, and it’s nice for a long weekend. The house itself is older and there’s no outdoor light to sit out on the porch, which was disappointing because it was hard to see out there at night. Secondly, there were lots of thorns from bushes on the rugs and dust when we arrived, which we took care of.

This was a great little spot to stay at. It’s one of those original beach houses. We had a little problem with AC but the host was more than willing to make our stay comfortable. He was even willing to give us an extra day for free because of the AC. We ended up getting fans and it cooled the house down. It was just so hot outside and the AC wasn’t keeping up with it. But you kind of expect it with an old beach house like that. The beach was right across from the house. It was perfect! My family and I enjoyed our stay! Definitely will do it again!

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re glad you enjoyed the charm of the original beach house and the easy beach access, and we really appreciate your understanding about the AC issue during the heat. We’re also happy we could help keep things comfortable, and we’ll keep working to make sure the home stays as enjoyable as possible. We’d love to welcome you and your family back again.
